I was in the local Shoppers drugstore the other day, pulling one of those little wheeled shopping baskets.

My shopping basket collided with another fellow’s shopping basket.

“Oh, sorry,” I said.

“Sorry,” he replied.

“Yes, sorry,” I said.

“Yes, but it was really my fault”, he replied.

All in the space of 30 seconds, and we went our separate ways.
